You can’t give a blessing without receiving one.  You can’t give a gift without gaining ground.  Jesus said, when you give mercy you obtain mercy.  When you give forgiveness you are forgiven.  We don’t give to get, but we can’t give without being touched by the generosity of our Father. “Cast your bread upon the waters, for after many days you will find it again” Ecc 11:1 (NIV).  It is the law of the universe.  It is the law of sowing, reaping and harvest.

 “Judge not, and you will not be judged; condemn not, and you will not be condemned; forgive, and you will be forgiven; give, and it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. For with the measure you use it will be measured back to you.” Luke 6:37-38 (ESV)
